Before using your VitaSteam Electronic for
the first time, wash the steaming trays,
rice bowl, lid and drip tray in warm soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Operate the
Steamer for 15 minutes using a solution of 1
tablespoon lemon juice and 2 cups water in
the reservoir.
Note: You may notice a slight odour during
this first operation. This is normal with many
heating appliances and will not affect the
performance of your Steamer.
1.Fill the water reservoir above the ‘MIN’
water level and no higher than the ‘MAX’
water level.
Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam
Electronic. Do not use wine, stock or other
liquids.
2. Place the removable drip tray in position.
Note: Do not operate the Steamer without the
removable drip tray in place.
3. Place food to be steamed without sauce or
liquid into the steaming trays and place on
the power base. If steaming with sauce or
liquid, use the rice bowl and place inside
one of the steaming trays.
4. Replace the lid.
5. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power on.

pressing the Power button
. 00:00 will
appear on the LCD screen.
7. Press the 'SET' button once and the word
'STEAMER' will appear on the LCD screen.
An automatic cooking time of 5 minutes
will appear. To change this time use the
'MIN' (minutes) and 'HR' (hours) buttons
to reach the desired cooking time. There
is a maximum cooking time of 3 hours 59
minutes. Once the cooking time has been
selected the unit will turn on automatically
after 5 seconds. The ON/OFF light will
illuminate to let you know that steaming
has commenced. Five beeps will sound
when the selected time has elapsed and
the Steamer will automatically switch to
the Keep Warm function.
Note: If the water in the Steamer runs out
before cooking has finished the unit will
sound a continuing beep and the ON/OFF
light will blink. See the section on the
automatic boil dry sensor setting on page 6.
8. Using oven mitts or a cloth, remove the
lid by tilting it away from you to ensure
steam is safely released without scalding.
Hold the lid over the steamer to allow the
condensation to drain into the unit before
removing completely. Remove the plug
from the power outlet after use.

bowl and serve the food.
Note: Use caution when handling the base
of the unit and steaming trays/rice bowl as
these will be hot.
